CA-X Silicone Protective Case

A protecção traseira não dá muita confiança.

Acquistato per fare beat, mi aspettavo di meglio....

One thing to bear in mind is that the silicone cases don't really cover the back of the unit. They cover the front and edges, and there are wings that stick out and cover the ends of the battery compartment, which act as feet if you place your PO on a flat surface. It was kind of weird at first, but once I got used to it, I appreciated the consistency with the aesthetic of the PO itself. And of course I have to have a portal-colored case for my PO-137, just like I have portal-colored dice for D&D vs. RaM.

It is good

The Teenage Engineering Silicone Pro-Case is a must-have for any Pocket Operator, and it’s especially perfect for my PO-128 Mega Man edition. First off, the fit is spot-on—it snaps snugly onto the Pocket Operator and instantly makes it feel more solid and professional. (Just snap the tag. I know it hurts but do it.) Without the case, the Pocket Operator can feel a bit fragile, but the official case eliminates that worry entirely. It makes it feel like a finished product. What really impressed me is how much it improves the overall experience. The silicone adds just the right amount of grip and weight, so it doesn’t slip out of my hands during a jam session. Plus, the button overlays are a game-changer (pun intended). They make it easier to hit the controls precisely without accidentally pressing the wrong one—a big deal when you’re juggling beats and effects on the fly. This case doesn’t mess with the aesthetic. In fact, the muted silicone actually complements the design, giving it a sleeker and more polished look. It even makes the Pocket Operator feel more like an instrument and less like a calculator from the ‘80s (though I love that retro vibe). I've tried other cases like the acrylic one (which looks beautiful and really displays the PO's PCB design, but the plastic buttons just don't feel as responsive.) Also this case doesn't sacrifice the portability. Pro Tip: If you’re like me and you love taking your Pocket Operator on the go, this case is a lifesaver. It adds enough durability to toss it into a bag without worrying about bending the board or scratching the screen. Final thoughts: It’s hard to believe such a small upgrade could make such a big difference, but this case is worth every penny. Whether you’re a Mega Man fan or just want to protect and enhance your Pocket Operator, this case is essential.
